I haven’t gone to the range yet but from just handling and going through the manual of arms, I really like it. I feel most comfortable with revolvers and I don’t really like shooting semi-autos because of the potential to hold it wrong or hit the wrong button.
The PD380 is made simple and I like that.

“I like the way it shoots with low recoil. It’s just too big to carry concealed for a small frame person like me.”

Concealed-carry in general must be a royal PITA for slight-built individuals like yourself, unless skirts with a thigh holster are an option. Pretty much everything else are styles that don’t easily work with firearm carry, sadly…

No different than Glock, then.

I never understood Glock’s insistence on cheaping out like that, especially since LE was the primary intended market, and you would think you would want them to hit what they were aiming at reliably…

I have small hands and it fits me perfectly. I like the way it shoots with low recoil. It’s just too big to carry concealed for a small frame person like me. This PD380 is almost identical with a few differences that don’t improve it much. The mag release on the PD is the same as the PK which is awkward to operate due to it’s location. It just doesn’t operate smoothly. I think they wasted their time on this one.

My Ruger LCP MAX works for me.

Happy Thanksgiving All.
